If this is true, this changes everything (or at least it should).

The media should question the "invation of privacy" of two consenting adults. In fact, they should start defending Foley!

The vast "gay community" should come out in support of Foley. Since the Left thinks that's about 20% of the population, the politcal pressure on the Dims would be enormous.

But, wait...Foley is a Republican.

Does anybody have an update? My understanding is as follows:
1. The filthy IMs that were released were between an 18 yr old and Foley.
2. There are, apparently, more e-mails, more pages, and more IMs that haven't been released yet. These, allegedly, involve Foley and 16 year olds.

Is this accurate? This story is getting VERY hard to pin down with any certainty.

The damage is already done................and any retraction or correction of previously released stories will occur maybe one or two times in some prestigious media outlet, like the East Ipswitch Observer of Northern Minnesota in the D-section on page 32 at the bottom right next to the advertisement of the BIG SALE at "Crazy Bob's Used Cars".

I'm still wondering why ABC hasn;t been forced to address the issue of why they kept this age issue a secret until now. I mean, we KNOW why, but I'm curious about why no one has pressed them on it.

So this means that the Democrats, who are supposedly so much more tolerant than Republicans, have

* Outed a homosexual without his consent
* Called Him a pervert
* Called his relationship with a consenting adult a crime
* Called for his resignation and that of his superior over his sexual preference.

Hmmmm....sounds like the Rats are discriminating against homosexuals.

Don't you folks get it. No one in the MSM cares. Drudge has been blaring the Foley teen was 18 and yet Dems out today on every network screaming hysterically that the GOP are Pedophiles and Hastert knew. The GOP are more worried about the cover-up then the Pedophiles in Congress. Who would have thought it the hypocrisy of trying on Morals to make political hay anyway, the MSM is in it for the Dems to win back Congress and Impeach Bush..
Bottom line only us wise guys get our news from alternative media. Non-Political big voting block of America gets its news from ABC, CBS, NBC, NYT, LAT in other words the MSM.
I think it could really be over for the GOP now. They can't get on top of this with America the damage is done. Prepare for Speaker Pelosi and John Conyers Impeachment trials. The effect to supress the Conservative base will be largely successful. What next you ask well with the Dem Congress our terrorist enemies will see it as a major defeat for Bush and complete vindication and victory for them. What the GOP fails to hysterically scream to America is that the Dem Congress WILL pull us out of Iraq. It WILL defeat the WOT because of its commitments to the ACLU. The Stock Market will crash. Our Taxes will be raised. Illegal Mexicans will get government cheese with my taxes and the DEMS will secure them as a future voting block. Then the ultimate betrayal, we WILL be attacked again this time by a Nuke or two funneled from PRNK or IRAN maybe across the southern border as the Dems retract the Fence proposal.

Millions of Americans will die and the twist from the MSM and the Dems will be it is all Bush's fault because he started the war, then they will proceed to give the answer that we need to turn control of our military over to the UN that way the UN will be the peacekeepers and for sure they will keep us safe because the know how to give the John Kerry Global Test to situations. Inevitably they will successfully rewrite history and Bush that Brave man that stood up in ACTION after 911 and waived his fist at our enemies and said you will hear from the might of America and has been nothing but persecuted from the left ever since well he will bear the brunt. I for one will stand with him like he stood for us.

I am watching CNN, courtesy my liberal spouse. I know that in spring it is said there can be a lightness in one's step. An old Scottish song. The Tangle O the Isles.

It seems that Wolf Blitzer has suddenly got ten years younger. The lightness, the buoyance in the mans voice. Wolf is absolutely over the moon, as an dispassionate reporter of course.

Quickly cutting to one Michael Ware. The Australian chap on the Middle East. At one time Ware sounded like the late Steve Irwin, shouting about "American boys dying".

The Ware went back to moderate Australian accents. Tonight, on the same subject. He is back to pure Irwin by accent.

Something gives. Steady as she goes will do it.

The Fox show, Journal Editorial Report, has the best headline for this entire event. Not Foleygate. Note some other old cliche for a Washington scandal. Nope, this event will forever be known as:

La Cage aux Foley

Looks like Edmund's lawyer will be yanking all the website reporting on the non-scandal.

Passionate America: Stephen Jones Demands I pull the Jordan Edmund Story


I got this email yesterday:
Dear William Kerr and Passionate America:

Please be advised that I represent Jordan Edmund. It is our understanding that you and Passionate American are identifying Mr. Edmund with certain Instant Messages ("IMs"). You have indicated that ABC News mistakenly published these alleged Ims and that you should not have been able to obtain this information. Whether this is true or not is beside the point. Without any foundation or legal permission, you are stating that our client is the person associated with the Ims. Neither ABC News nor Brian Ross have been error free in their reporting in the past. You should not assume that they are correct now. Like all individuals and institutions, they occasionally make mistakes. Therefore, I respectfully demand that you cease any further efforts to identify our client with these alleged Ims and cease publishing such information on Passionate America. Neither you nor Passionate American is authorized to use any photograph of him, his name or his personal information. You should consult with an attorney who is experienced in civil and criminal liability regarding the internet. If you are correct that ABC News should not have released the alleged AOL screen name and that ABC News has risked civil and criminal liability because of the unauthorized release, then your republication of the unauthorized release likewise exposes you to possible liability.

Sincerely,

Stephen Jones JONES, OTJEN, DAVIS, NIXON & JUHL 114 E. Broadway, Suite 1100 P.O. Box 472 Enid, Oklahoma 73702 (580) 242-5500 (580) 242-4556 (fax) sjones@stephenjoneslaw.com
So I have contacted some of the people I have met in the past few days for advice. My view on this is I have already published the story many people have put this on their websites also. Much of the main stream media has put the story out. The cat is out of the bag. Is Stephen Jones going to send these emails out to thousands of people? I believe I have done nothing wrong legally, until I hear different from people smarter than me I am going to treat this as a threat and leave everything on the website. I could use your help; do you know anyone that can help me? Send me an email."


If you want to archive the contents of this blog before it disappears, better do it now. The same applies to Macsmind and others that have done reporting on this. After they all get cease-and-desist letters and are forced to pull their content, Google and the other search engines will be scrubbed as well.
